Check your XF86Config.  You might have 24 bpp, which Netscape doesn't
like.  Change that to 16 bpp or use 'startx -- -bpp 16'.

I won't comment on your CD installation problems, since I haven't done
that myself with slink (I have done an ftp installation and several ftp
upgrades from hamm).  I suspect that the multi-cd process needs a bit of
refining.
